note 62356 added to function.mysql-free-result

ALWAYS use this function! I just encountered a bug in my code where I forgot to use this function. I also happen to be using mysql_pconnect() for a persistent connection. If you forget to free the result, it can hold the old result set open indefinitely within the HTTP process. The upshot (in my application) was that I did updates that happened in a different HTTP process, but they mysteriously didn't show up in another HTTP process. After panicking that MySQL had mysterious data corruption and/or synchronization problems, I traced it back to this where an old result set was held open. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 68.5.244.195 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-free-result.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62356 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62356 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62356 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
